from what I understand from the article the problem is that people are queuing and because of long waiting times batteries die.
I honestly don't understand why people are buying EVs if they don't have the option of home charging.
Why are people buying gas cars if they don't have at home fueling?
gas cars generaly, from what I've been told, don't use said gas while beeing shut off to keep the car in operational condition. But maybe yours is different.
While the post above yours is a bit of a hot take, the better answer is because it only takes 5 or 10 minutes to refuel your car. Which is why it would be a lot more difficult to use an EV if you couldn't charge it at home.
